Business Case For Sustainable Development
Our bottom line depends on access to natural resources and on our licence to operate. Maximising our bottom line also means recognising the value protection and value creation achieved by enhancing non-financial or sustainability dimensions. Such sustainability dimensions include the safety of our people and the impact that we have on host communities and the environment; effective governance and risk management processes; being socially responsible and contributing to sustainable community development; and to ensuring the broader economic contributions of our operations are injected into the regions where we operate.
Beyond the business case - societal benefits
Beyond our business case are many societal benefits that flow from integrating sustainability into our business. Benefits include contributing to improved standards of living and self-sustaining communities; enhancing economic contributions, resource conservation and biodiversity; and improving stakeholder trust.
